Refuge House quilt 1

We have a quilter in our midst, and she has inspired a group of girls from church to dust off our sewing machines, or get them out for the first time in order to produce some quilts to cover the beds of the girls at Refuge House. The picture on the far right is what the finished quilt could look like. Our church has recently decided to start and maintain a home for girls who have been rescued from the sex trafficking industry in the the Philippines. If you want to know more about this particular ministry, you can find out more here.

The goal for our quilt project is to produce enough quilts to cover each bed in the house. Here is the first square of our first quilt. Even after our first night of quilting together, we were amazed by how well women can work together and how it is possible for people of all levels of sewing ability to find a way to contribute in the quilting process. Here's to bringing back quilting bees!
